[quote][i]Originally posted by Colin[/i] Probably a couple Mill in Edinburgh, the most expensive house in the UK is on the market just now at £70M and is in Surrey! UK’s most expensive country house goes on sale with a price tag of in excess of £70 million The most expensive country property ever to go on sale in the UK is being put on the market today (Monday 28 February 2005). Priced at in excess of £70 million, Updown Court is being heralded as the first 21st century stately home in Britain, with grounds larger in area than both the royal residences of Buckingham Palace and Hampton Court. Located in the picturesque English village of Windlesham in the heart of Surrey, in what is becoming known as the ‘golden triangle’ (Runnymede, Ascot and Weybridge), this 58 acre estate has all the features of the grandest homes in Britain, together with state of the art technology. All the systems are computer controlled and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The sumptuous facilities include five swimming pools, a heated marble driveway, a private cinema, bowling alley, indoor squash court, all weather floodlit tennis court, and stabling for six horses. There is also a helipad for private landings and underground garaging for at least eight limousines. The accommodation comprising the Updown Court estate is made up of four principal buildings - the main house, guest accommodation, gate lodge and a separate estate manager’s office. Twenty-four bedroom/bathroom suites are provided as part of a total of 103 rooms. The sweeping double staircase at the entrance of the main house is a replica of the late Gianni Versace’s home in Miami. The main house also contains a panic room in case of terrorist attacks. Updown Court is only 28 miles from Central London and within a 20 minute ride by car to Heathrow Airport. The local area has a range of top schools for all ages, including Eton College and St Mary’s School at Ascot. Sporting facilities nearby include golf at Wentworth and Sunningdale, racing at Ascot and polo on Smith’s Lawn. The area is home to the family of Sheikh al Maktoum. Interest in this new ‘trophy home’ has already been expressed by various international entrepreneurs and the ‘super-rich’. The property has been masterminded by property developer and entrepreneur, Leslie Allen-Vercoe of Rhymer Investments.
